is used by various interested parties to the business institution. The party can be internal
or external in the government. This research focuses on reports on the implementation
of local government which is one of the important instruments in measuring the
performance of local governments (Arista, Satyanovi, Rahmawati, & Hapsari, 2021).
Local government financial statements are also an important part of LPPD because they
reflect good or bad local government financial management. The local government
implementation report (LPPD) is a form of accountability for public financial
management by local governments, including in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province
(Kusuma & Handayani, 2017). In this case, LPPD has an important role in increasing
transparency and accountability of public financial management at the regional level, so
the government is required to make efforts to submit accountability reports in the form
of financial statements in the local government implementation report (LPPD).
Financial statements prepared must be based on principles and follow Government
accounting standards by PP Number 71 of 2010. Therefore, the financial information
contained in the Local Government Implementation Report must have benefits and be to
the needs of users (Mentu & Sondakh, 2016).
The development of a region can be carried out by the government by looking at
the potential and peculiarities of each region. This is a good opportunity for the

region. The progress of a region is determined by the ability and desire to advance local
government. The progress of a region can be related to financial information presented
in the form of financial statements and the classification of relationships that factor into
qualifications in presenting quality financial information (Pramudiarta & Juliarto,
2015).
Financial statements are very important to know the results that have been
achieved by a local government in one period (Ibrahim, Rifai, & Katarina, 2016).
Regional financial statements are also a medium for equity in accounting for financial
performance against the use of APBD funds. The Regional Revenue and Expenditure
Budget (APBD) is an annual financial plan of local governments approved by the
Regional People's Representative Council, consisting of the Revenue Budget,
Expenditure Budget, and Financing (Pilat & Morasa, 2017).
One of the breakthroughs made by the government in monitoring financial
reporting is the form of local government accountability for regional finances. The form
of regional financial accountability is described in Government Regulation Number 6 of
2008 concerning Financial Reporting and Performance of Government Agencies
(Subetti, 2020). In Article 2, it is stated that in the context of accountability for the
implementation of the Regional Budget, each regional government is obliged to prepare
and present Financial Statements and Performance Reports contained in the Regional
Government Implementation Report (LPPD). This is to provide a measure of clarity on
the preparation of local government financial statements and the state of the parties
responsible therein. The sharper and clearer the picture presented in the local
